CABLE SEALING AND RETAINING DEVICE AND CABLE CONNECTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a cable sealing and retaining device providing at least two openings through each of which a cable is sealingly guidable, and to a cable termination formed between said two cables. The present invention provides an improved cable sealing and retaining device which is simply shaped, which may sealingly accommodate a connection formable between two cables received by the cable sealing and retaining device and which is capable of keeping away from the connection a tension force acting on the cable in its longitudinal direction. The cable sealing and retaining device (50) comprises at least two cable sealing devices (10) with sealing parts (11), each providing a passageway with an inner seal (14) through which a cable (2) is sealingly guidable, and an outer seal (15) arranged on an outer circumference of the sealing part (11). The cable sealing and retaining device (50) comprises a housing (53) which provides at least two openings (51) with a sealing section (52) arranged inside of the housing (53) and adapted to co-operate with a front section of the sealing part (11) received by the opening (51) to form a sealing between the sealing section (52) and the outer seal (15) coming into contact with the sealing section (52). The cable sealing and retaining device (50) is characterized by a tension support part (56) for bypassing a tension acting in longitudinal direction on the cable (2), wherein the tension support part (56) is provided between the cable sealing devices (10) and having a longitudinal length adapted to bridge a longitudinal distance between the two cable sealing devices (10).
